Hm okay. Are there any trusted sites online with safe liverock you'd recommend in case the liverock at the LFS is contaminated?
And I will certainly look into a protein skimmer now. I wasn't sure if it was necessary at this early of a time because I'd have so few fish in it anyways.
Thinking this?
Something like this seem good for my size tank?
I've heard good things about that brand, but I haven't been in the market for a skimmer in a long time. I'd encourage you to start a new post asking for skimmer suggestions. You have about 150G gross system volume. Therefore you'll want a skimmer rated for a little over that. However, you don't want to way over shoot with a skimmer either. My guess is that you want one rated for 200G, but I'm not sure. You can ask all these questions in a new post.
